US Mint 2026 Congratulations Set Available On February 26

Gilly,


How do you read the post above that stated the mintage from the 2026 Congratulations sets is 39,195, Thanks

I called the Public Affairs Office at (202) 354-7222. at the U S Mint and left a message, Lunch time !!

I am seeking verbal confirmation , From them of Exactly what the Real mintage numbers for the 2026 Congratulations sets, ...

Sorry, man the page is just really hopping lately, I know I saw this question and never got to a reply.
The key:


My take is this "may" mean sold to the public. Possibly those authorized purchasers weren't included in the figure yet. Possibly the same for the W dual date ASEs, I just don't know. Wish I could help figure this out. As of now I have all I want and can afford. Just going to have to be patient and I'm positive those numbers will go up. I know the question is "will they go up because they have more to sell, or because they will make(and offer) more? Or does the data need to be updated to include other sales?"
You know me, I'll tell you what's on my mind about ASEs. Personally I think they're virtually sold out of the Congrats, possibly they will produce more Ws.
This all could be why the drop date was moved back ~a month, to get more production done.
My prediction is you probably didn't see any more Congrats, unless it's for a few brief minutes here and there (returns, declined orders, although anything declined is probably already resold). And the Ws, if they do produce more (if they aren't maxxed out on the limit already), if they have more to sell, then everyone will be telling everyone else about it and they'll sell them again, probably last half a day and they'll be gone again.

@livingwater For the EU ASE, if you click on subscription you will get the information you are looking for, mintage limit is currently at 125,000 up from an earlier number of 90,000.

I know you guys want an update. My coin is still showing in transit but no scans since arriving in Alaska on the 1st. This is not looking good for me :(

Well Done,

Thanks John,

Gilly, what I did was look at the sales figures from the US Mint. I looked at the history and how the eagle silver was listed, how some had the 040 addition to the product code. I looked at the history of the congratulations set. I calculated the numbers of the 40/pack sold with the individual set sold and looked at how other websites are listing the mintage numbers by those two combined. I saw that the congratulations set hasn't been sold with the 040 product code. There wasn't a household limit on the previous congratulations set, so there wouldn't be a need for the distributor 40/pk.

The sales figure doesn't match the max mintage for the eagle silver products because they never met that amount or the special limited sets, they always had some number lower than max mintage probably for their internal audit of keeping the first and last strikes and what they kept for own use such as displays, etc.




So the adjusted sales figure number is actually what has been sold, not including the first and last strike from the dies used to mint these coins. I remember from a video that they kept the first/last strikes for each die to keep as quality assurance and to use if an audit is ever needed. I remember they were placed in a metal lock cabinet in that video. It was an old video on how they were made a long time ago.

So I came up with those numbers based on the sales figure released from the US Mint using https://www.usmint.gov/about/produc...lative-sales
